arrival

[overcame-fear.livejournal.com]

A gate opens and slams shut again in an instant as a man in green comes tumbling through, carrying an equally green object in one hand.

Hal Jordan has his in-flight balance back in just over a second, narrowly missing impact with the expressway beneath him. He rights himself in mid-air, and makes a gentle touchdown on... Earth?

Well. It looks like Earth. But his ring is emitting a barrage of tech-speak, all of which could be summed up by a very heated, 'WTF?!?!'.

Not a good sign, Hal figures, but hardly the first time that's happened, so he's far from worried. After all, whatever happens next, he's pretty sure it won't be boring.

Hal's face darkens fast.

He wish he didn't know him. But Prime was hard to miss in the Sinestro War.

"One is plenty if it's him."

There's no fear, of course. But there is anger, and Hal stops to force it down again. He's been learning just how well rage can pose a threat nearly as bad as fear.

"He seems to think this is his world, and he hasn't caused any trouble." Batman shrugs. "I've been keeping an eye on him."

Hal thinks about that silently for a while.

"If he's not making trouble, fine. Sounds like there are plenty of civilians around needing our help more."

"But I can't say I'm happy about him being here."

"I might say I'm happier you're here." He might, but he won't. "That ring of yours should come in awful handy. Oh, also... The current world population is in the low millions."

Hal is visibly shocked.

"I can't see Prime pulling that off. That's--."

"Maybe Darkseid...."

A few seconds pass, and then Hal smirks. "Guess I can't complain about this place not giving us a good challenge."

"There area lot worse thing here then Prime." Hards as it is to believe.

Hal eyes the landscape zooming by.

"Guess we won't be getting bored."

"Nope." Tim applies the brake with a squeal of tires as the car ends up sliding sideways to a stop. "Metropolis. I think this is your stop."

It looks familiar enough. The part of it they can see from here at least.

"Thanks for the lift." A moment later Hal is hovering.

"Guess I'll be seeing you around."

"More then you know." Tim flicks a casual salute, and speeds off. Things just got interesting.

All right, things just got more interesting.

FINE! Things got a little bit more interesting then they were before, given a world that was probably too interesting to begin with.
